80 abroad to live. He is no good 10 the
community in which be resides. He
makes his money 10 one place and spends

prosperity would never find foothold in
our towns, and our merchants would be
compelled to close up business. They

AN OeraINAL FIsH STORY.

George Brooke, who went from Hepp

herded for him long time has returned

and went prospecting in the wild BIZ
Horn mountains. He did not find much
mineral, but claims that he did make
good Gil strike, and that no is going t.
return to it after he makes stake herd

pool in hidden and wild gully Of the
Big Horn mountains. The pool is sunk
in solid rock, is circular in form, is about
100 feet in circumference, waters of an
unfatho.nable depth, and is covered
with sheet Of oil, unbroken and nearly
pure to . thickness Of nearly six inches.
The oil is rapidly generated from the
pool depths, the quantity rising above
the six-inch level being carried off through
numerous orifices in the POOLS rocky
sides in constantly fed rivuiets. These
rivnlets fall into an enormous cavity in
the earth, which yawns apparently bot
tomless close at hand. But this pool has
also oil fish. These fish are in shape not
unlike the eel family and have decided
advantage over their fresh water proto.
types in slippery characteristics. This
singular fish is very active in movement
and darts to and fro in its native oil with
an almost uncomfortable velocity. As
the oil fish moves it leaves q luminous
wave, and after nightfall the surface
presents tho brilliant appearance of .

PROBABLY MURDERED.

An Elderly Machinist Found Dead
Under Suspicious Circumstances.
special Telegram TO the Statesman.
PALESTINE, September 2O.-This morn
ing boy, on coming up the eastern track
of the International d Great Northern
railway, discovered on bridge, quarter
of mile from the city, the headless body
of John Trainer, formerly machinist in
the shops here, and latterly employed at
Dllley & Sons iron foundry. The head of
the man was found some distance from
the body, and the body and legs were
jammed between the trestle.
There is a suspicion about the
manner of Trainers death. Justice
Watts found the head bruised in such a
way that gives color to the theory of foul
play, heightened by the fact that Train
er's pockets were turned inside out, and he
was known to have drawn 500 yesterday.
Trainer was about so years old and is
said to have had domestic trouble. 1t is
not known where his wife lives, but he re.
ceived letter backed in woman's hand
two days ago, and yesterday got clearence
papers from the company, and announced
his intention of leaving town last night.
One theory is that he killed himself by
falling upon the track and deliberately
going to sleep on it.

MONEY MATTERS.

Facts Connected With the Present Status
of the Market
NEW YORK, September 20.-The con-
dition of the money market is exciting
great interest at present. "Tight money"
was the phrase on everybody's lips yes
terday. N. X. Stevenson, the real estate
man, sent note of warning to President
Cleveland yesterday, which is exciting
considerable comment and creating some
merriment. The brothers Wormsers we're
telling at the Windsor last night that they
had telegraphed the president to buy a
little Reading to mix in the AIS.
The Times says:
Bonds are suffering as much as stocks;
no bids can be had for anything. The
banks are throwing everything but old
yilt-edge securities out of the lists of
collateral on which they are willing to
make loans. Merchants are suffering
quite as badly as are the people directly
engaged in Wall street trading. The
may be, to provide any such accommoda-
tions as the needs of commercial trade
call for, and this is obliging lots of mer-
chants to open their strong boxes
and go to Wall street seeking mar
ket for dividend-paying stocks and
gilt edged bonds that have been laid aside
as sure income providers these many
years, but in some boxes there are other
things than the old gilt edged parchments,
and visits to Wall street are quite often
to try to sell the stock or bonds of some
company hardly yet pushed forward to
safe and solid footing among investments.
The effort astonishes them. Things for
which they have paid good money, and in
whose value they have an absolute conf
dence, are discussed as unmarketable lat
most any price. "Tight money" is the
only explanation they are accorded.
With all this light money talk, however,
there is a good deal more scare than
reality. More people are nervous than
are hurt. The world is not going to end
right away. Cool headed owners of Sc
curities, having seen quotations drop so
far, are hardly likely to rush at gallop
now to unload at the bottom.

Accident on a Man-of- War

NEW YORK, September 20.-A Halifax
pecial says: The British war ship Belle
ophon, carrying. the flag of Admiral
Lyon, and which was ordered to New.
foundland fishing waters, has arrived
here and placed in the hospital the men
injured by the explosion of rockets while
accident was hushed up in Quebec. II
happened under these circumstances:
Governor General Lansdowne and suite
were at the old French capital on the even.
ing of September 10th. There was a grand
entertainment in Lansdowne's honor on
the flag ship Bellerophon at night. The
iron clad was gorgeously illuminated with
electric oil lamps and fire works and pre-
sented the grandest sight ever witnessed
at hitorical Quebec. At $50
as Lord Lansdowne and party were leav-
ing for shore, some 600 men of the crew
were on the deck. The yards were manned,
bands playing, and there was grand finale
of explosions. A pile of sixty of the
most powerful rockets lay on the upper
deck. One of them, on being lighted, in
stead of going up, exploded on deck,
igniting the pile. The effect was tremen-
dous. In moment the death dealing
rockets were sweeping the deck in every
direction, burning, lacerating and MAIN
ing the helpless men. Pieces were
flying up into the rigging and
yards and carrying havoc among
the poor fellows stationed there,
and the sticks were falling among the
crowds on shore, and on the French war
ships Minerva and Clarinde and other
vessels anchored in the harbor. The
Quebec papers next day announced that
midshipman and two men had been in
jured. The fact was that forty men had
been injured, thirteen of them, including
Midshipman Doulney, so seriously that
the Bellerophon had to leave Quebec,
and, instead of going to Newfoundland as
ordered, she came to Halifax to place the
men in the naval hospital. They are
terribly burned and lacerated. Some have
the feshy parts of their thighs and legs
blown off; Others have the muscles of their
arms torn.

BATTLE WITH BANDITS.

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
BRUEGGERHoFF, September 2O.-A fght
is reported to have taken place late yes
terday evening between posse of citi
zens under Deputy Sheriff Abe Anderson
and two outlaws near Leander.
THE PARTICULARS,
as gathered from the report by your cor.
respondent, are as follows: Two men
travelling north crossed the Colorado river
yesterday, about II o'clock a. m, at what
is known as the Anderson bend. The
crossing was effected in boat named by
farmer in that locality. 1t was neces.
sary to take one of the men over at a
time. The first one crossing had been
safely landed and the boat returning for
the other, when Mr.. Gus. Loman ap-
preached. As soon as seen by
the remaining party that gentle
man hurried to his horse, and
then turned, facing Mr.. Loman, asked:
"What do you want? Do you want to
cross?n
Mr. Loman replied: 81 don't know but
that might"
The nonchalant conduct of Nj. Loman
seemed to compose the man who had
shown himself suspicious of Mr.. Loman's
presence. The crossing proceeded, and

the real murderer of the Voolfolk family
had been arrested. His name is Jack De.

associated with others in the commission
of the murder. He had been convicted
upon the testimony of some of the Wool
folks of stealing, and was sent to the
chain gahg. 1t was to avenge himself for
this that he murdered the whole family.
1t is probable that Tom Voolfolk, who is

be released at once.
